About seams and plies

Each unit in a borehole can be assigned a seam and/or a seam and a ply. Within MEGS_Log this process is known as correlating.

The set of seams and plies available for correlation depends on the Site setting. Which seams and plies are present in a particular set depends on settings in the config file.

Seam and ply names follow a heirarchical structure. Each seam can have zero or more ply names associated with it. Seam names must be unique, however ply names can be common to several seams (they are regarded as separate plies).

MEGS_Log enforces the current seam/ply structure when correlating though MEGS_Log does not require selection of a ply for a seam that has plies associated with it.
